yawn over skip to main skip to sidebar yawn over knitting and generally wasting time i could really use catching some z s thursday december 31 2009 happy new years just wanted to take this opportunity to say happy new years it s been a long time new job responsibilities have left me with absolutely no time for blogging i couldn t be happier about my situation though so it s all good i m still pretty active on ravelry and have managed to make time for knitting most weeks and of course frisky is as high maintenance as ever wishing you all the very best that 2010 has to bring peace love and chewbones posted by yawnover at 10 52 pm 4 comments friday august 07 2009 time flies can t believe it s already august i have been immersed in an intensive online course development seminar and have totally lost track of time the seminar was fabulous and though i ll still be working to get ready for the fall semester the next two weeks are mostly about vacation that means lot and lots and lots of desperate pre semester knitting so i ve been working on another bonne marie burns pattern the eyelet cardi in elsebeth lavold silky wool i ve been looking for an excuse to try the silky wool and so far it has lived up to expectations lightweight gorgeous color and soft to the touch i am a little bit worried about pilling and or snags but only time will tell i m past the sleeve divide and getting close to the waist shaping love the pattern so far but omg that was a whole lot of stitches there before that divide unfortunately this baby is being moved to the back burner because i am off to san francisco for a conference fortunately though the trip gives me time to work on a smaller project aestlight in araucania ranco multy in a luscious palette of blues and purples because i am a sheep who could not resist the lure of the bandwagon i m really hoping to finish this one up during the trip fingers crossed another project that s on hold for the time being is my behrnardt cardi i guess i should be happy to report that it is finally too hot to knit with worsted weight wool it will keep for a couple more months though and despite my already heftily laden plate of wips i am already coveting my next project the mondo cable pulli by bonne marie burns it s not available in pdf just yet but rest assured that i am stalking the chic knits discussion board on a daily basis and will be poised to pounce on that bad boy the instant it hits the streets hmm do you think i maybe have an issue with startitis i will leave you with today s gratutious chihuahua shots which today feature frisky being rewarded for his bad behavior will we ever learn the hubs and i were up early trying to squeeze in a few early morning moments of work before the tweens emerged from their sleep dens seeking large quantities of food and parental engagement and asking the question every parent loves to hear why are you wearing that frisky was scratching my legs in the desperate attention craving way that only a chihuahua can and after 10 minutes of listening to me complain hubs picked the dog up and deposited him into his polo shirt by all accounts this seemed to do the trick maybe too well i can t help but be reminded of that old movie alien happy august wil try to post an update when i get back posted by yawnover at 10 23 pm 2 comments tuesday july 14 2009 the summer of knit my this certainly has been a wool friendly summer i m aware that in some places in the us the heat has reached record highs but here in new england we are all about the chilly this is driving some people nuts but honestly i kind of like it sunny and 70 degrees in july i ll take it thank you very much not only have i saved bundles on my electricity costs my knitting output has never been better that s a win win situation as far as i m concerned baktus update turns out that the lure of the baktus was too much for me to resist as soon as i got my hands on another skein of lovely brooks farm acero i cast on again because i am a sheep and because the lure of everything terhi makes is also too much for me to resist am i becoming a ravstalker this one is the lacy version the pattern is such a peach the ultimate travel knitting project i got the yarn from a fellow raveler who was doing a major destash she gave me such a good price on it that i almost felt guilty almost it really is gorgeous details rav ed here oddly i am in no hurry to finish this i just like looking at it both pictures are from atop the breakers at hampton beach nh it was our first sunny day here in some time and we stuck it out for as long as possible by moving our gear up onto the rocks the sky was absolutely gorgeous acer update the lesson from my first acer button disaster is that looks aren t everything sigh i needed something really feather weight details rav ed here after checking out the project pages for acer i ended up going with the same style of button used by a few others and the shape is just right i think i would have liked an even lighter colored maple on this pale yarn but these will do for now and since i plan to make it again in peace fleece mondo cable but first i need to finish this little bippy honestly i liked this pattern in its first incarnation but the more recent top down version is a real winner the provisional cast on gave me a few headaches you can read all about the agony here but did make for a lovely seamless shoulder i hope to have this done in another day or two next up so what bandwagon to jump on next i ve been thinking about breaking into my luscious silken mohair a worsted weight silk with a mohair haze yum to do a mara or a november ruffle or maybe i ll get back to bernhardt or or or gratuitous chihuahua shots clearly i could go on and on but that wouldn t do either of us any good there is work to be done besides the knitting after all and you may even be asleep by now so i ll bid you adieu with some parting shots of you know who i m not afraid of fireworks no siree are you afraid of fireworks because i m not no no way not me well someone has to prop this kid up right posted by yawnover at 8 11 am 3 comments friday july 03 2009 stick a fork in it because acer is officially done in exactly two weeks including blocking and buttons woot speaking of buttons i am gradually coming to the realization that the ones i just sewed on though gorgeous are really just too heavy for this light and lofty yarn hence i can t get a decent non gappy picture of me wearing it so eventually i will need to swap these buttons out but for now i m going to just sit here in a pleasant state of denial and enjoy my finished sweater and have a cocktail obviously this plan gets the official frisky tm seal of approval tomorrow i ll be watching fireworks the pops and neil diamond that s right miss abby and working on my lacy baktus hope you enjoy your 4th too posted by yawnover at 6 50 pm 10 comments monday june 29 2009 cold weather sweater frenzy still knitting with bulky wool in june you ask why yes as a matter of fact i am one advantage of being a knitter is the ability to find some small measure of enjoyment in a crappy cold wet summer i am doing my best but it ain t easy finished the body and started the first sleeve on acer love it btw the cascade eco is much softer than the regular eco much less rustic as well and speaking of eco i finally found a button at ewe ll love it for the eco vest i lurve this pattern the shaping is really really nice it will be very wearable come fall and i definitely see another one in my future now for my next project i m finding myself torn between two great patterns bernhardt see below which i ve already begun but barely and the mondo cable vest shell from bonnie marie burns which i would do up in dic classy as a vest like this oh decisions decisions is your head also spinning from all the new patterns out there i think maybe i just need to stop looking so what are you working this summer do you keep knitting or take a break for the heat or do you change the things you knit and ps more sexy baktus to come take it to the bridge posted by yawnover at 11 19 am 5 comments monday june 22 2009 escape from manville and a tale of two sweaters right now i have a bit of downtime between two action packed semesters and it seems like a good opportunity to crank out a sweater or two my picks acer from the totally awesome kirsten of through the loops and bernhardt the totally awesome cardi from twist collective summer 09 i just had to run and cast on for bernhardt as soon as i bought it lurve that lace rib but have decided to put in on the back burner and see if i can finish acer before it gets to hot too knit with bulky yarn assuming it ever actually gets hot around here that is pattern acer yarn cascade eco in lavender needle size 9 29 circ size 8 for cast on and row 1 though i d love an excuse to pick up some peace fleece i m going to be a good little recessionista and knit this one from my stash after reading the comments on others projects i casted on and knit the first row with a size 8 needle then went up to a size 9 this is going to be a quickie i think i got a nice jumpstart on it this weekend during some unexpected girl time my mom had planned to spend the weekend in ogunquit and i decided at the last minute to tag along to escape the red meat baseball golf channel saturated manfest that is fathers day at my house it was heavenly to get away and we even managed to take advantage of the few sunny hours on saturday to soak up some rays at the beach thanks mom the only one who wasn t entirely thrilled about the weekend was frisky because in his heart he really is a ladies man ohhh aren t they back yet posted by yawnover at 9 59 am 4 comments tuesday june 16 2009 i m bringing sexy bak tus what do you know i actually finished something pattern baktus yarn brooks farm acero from rhinebeck i just like saying that needles size 2 addi lace i think the reason this got finished is because i didn t waste time blabbing about it all over my ravelry project page like i usually do updating the progess o meter every 5 just to pump up my ego no this was hardcore monogamous and mostly public knitting also it was the kind of knitting that can be combined with cocktails hi lynne and abby and now it s done yay this is a terrific easy but satisfying pattern i would love to make another but in stripes like terhi s adorable version i can see this baby getting some serious wear come fall i love love love the shape very versatile and the yarn seriously now that i have had my initiation knit with brooks farm i can see myself doing some serious damage to the ol bank account come october rhinebeck i ll be the one causing an avalanche at the bf booth in frisky news doesn t he look like the figurehead on a ship he was hands down the absolutely most horrendous badly behaved dog at the entire soccer field and high maintenance too good thing he s cute now go listen to the song you know you want to posted by yawnover at 5 38 pm 10 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me yawnover view my complete profile look for me on
